I actually read your entire post.

The cap gains part that is not showing up in your post was where the 411 insider acquired his stock in 411 at $1 per share (or whatever the true basis was)in January of 1996. This 411 stock can be exchanged for the $52 YHOO stock tax free. However, once they sell their YHOO stock (at 52 or 42 or 102) there is a taxable event because they effectively acquired the YHOO stock for $1 back in 1/96.
